WCB shock hoops not fitting

[snipes243]

So I have been fight this hoop all night. At first I thought the hoop was hitting the inner fender. So I cut the inner fender out and it's still not fitting right. So the shock tabs are directly over the frame. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have your coil buckets been relocated by chance?

not that I'm a where of, but I don't have anything to compare them to so Im not sure.

I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure you have it on the wrong side. I think that one should go on the passenger side.

Mine is a little different design but it should lean out and away from the coil bucket.

If you look at the pic of the mount on the coil bucket you'll notice how it's not lined up right. Try tilting it out so the flatbar on the mount matches the angle on the coil bucket. That will effectively raise the mounting tabs at the bottom. Never used them, just a thought.

I tried flipping sides no benefit the shock mount was over the tire so I'm think was wrong too. I can't pull the hoop out towards the wheels anymore the bushings at the bottom are hitting the frame. I went ahead and measured the coil buckets and they are 9" from the bottom of the frame to the top of the coil bucket. And it's 5 5/8" from the outside of the frame to the outer most edge of the bucket.

If you go to the website wcb4x4.com under the "projects" page, you will see tons of broncos with those hoops. None of them angle in like you have them. I understand that the shock mounts end up over the tire but I have never seen them mounted on the outside like that unless they were in conjunction with a Dana 60. Most of the shock tabs are mounted inboard. You bought those used from someone, correct? Would like to know what their set up was. I don't want to keep giving you bad news but those were set up for their application, doesn't mean it will bolt right up for yours.

If I remember right it came off a full width truck so the hoops might have been lengthened, which could explain my problem. I'm gonna call wcb they built the truck that the hoops came off. Maybe they can tell me.
